ChenkinNoob-XL-V0.5

Long time no see, everyone! It's been a while since our last release, and today we are thrilled to bring you the brand new major version trained on top of V0.2: ChenkinNoob-XL-V0.5. This update focuses on improving overall aesthetics, reducing common AI artifacts, and enhancing practical usability for game art production and illustration workflows.

Key Updates & Features:

• ~12M Dataset Optimization: We removed some style-divergent images (<1M), retained our core 9M open-source anime dataset (Danbooru, with data cutoff up to Jan 2026), and added 2.17M strictly filtered open-source game concept designs and high-quality Western datasets. The total dataset is now around 12 million images.

• Custom Training Architecture: To efficiently handle this massive dataset, we developed an exclusive training script from scratch. This allows us to better utilize Hierarchical Dropout and Repeat Tag Resampling, significantly improving the model's generalization.

• Exclusive 8-in-1 ControlNet: Released alongside Chenkin-UniControl-XL.

  • Highlight - Fuse Mode: Allows you to mix multiple ControlNet conditions simultaneously (e.g., Lineart + Depth + Pose) in a single pass without weight interference.

  • Requirement: To use this in ComfyUI, you must install our exclusive plugin: ComfyUI-Advanced-ControlNet.

Recommended Settings:

• Steps: 25 ~ 30 | CFG Scale: 5 ~ 6 | Sampler: Euler a

• Positive Prompt: masterpiece, best quality, newest, high resolution, aesthetic, excellent, year 2026,

• Negative Prompt: nsfw, worst quality, old, early, low quality, lowres, signature, username, logo, bad hands, mutated hands,

Future Roadmap: To better achieve character and style transfer, our exclusive IP-Adapter (IPA) has officially entered the training schedule! Additionally, we are actively researching entirely new model architectures and hope to share these new developments with you later this year. Stay tuned!

ChenkinNoob-XL-V0.2

ChenkinNoob-XL-V0.2 is now live on Civitai. This update builds on the noobai-XL-1.1 backbone while extending the Danbooru training set through 2025-11-23. Compared to V0.1, you can expect:

- Sharper character fidelity: better pose stability, facial consistency, and accessory detail thanks to refreshed captions and alignment tweaks.

- Prompt responsiveness: more reliable control over outfits, lighting, and color palettes, especially in multi-character prompts.

- Open pipeline refinements: updated default prompts/negative prompts, plus cleaner metadata to simplify LoRA or LyCORIS fine-tuning.

Recommended baseline:

CFG 5–6, 25–30 steps, Euler a, 1024×1024-class resolutions

Positive: high resolution, aesthetic, excellent, medium resolution, year 2025, newest

Negative: low resolution, e621, Furry, old

New Tag System

V0.2 introduces additional tags to better surface high-quality generations and recent-era aesthetics.

| Tag Type    | Label             | Description                                   |
| ----------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Resolution  | **High Resolution**   | Image area ≥ 2048 px                          |
| Resolution  | **Medium Resolution** | 1024 px < image area < 2048 px                |
| Resolution  | **Low Resolution**    | Image area ≤ 1024 px                          |
| Aesthetic   | **Esthetic**          | Top 100k most liked Danbooru posts            |
| Aesthetic   | **Excellent**         | Top 1M most liked Danbooru posts              |
| Era         | **Year YYYY**         | Explicit year tag (e.g., `year 2025`)         |
| Era         | **Range: Newest**     | Aggregated label for 2022–2025 content        |
| Era         | **Range: Old**        | Aggregated label for 2018 and earlier content |

These labels appear in metadata and recommended prompts so creators can quickly filter for the visual qualities they need.

Stay tuned for V0.3 (ETA January 2026) and the forthcoming anime-focused SDXL all-in-one ControlNet tied to our 1.0 milestone. Join the conversation, share your renders, and let us know how V0.2 performs in your workflows!
